SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 728,864, dated May 26, 1903. Application filed May 31,1902 Serial No. 109,824. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK CARTER, a citizen of England, residing at 2 St. James street, Brighton, in the county of Sussex, England, haveinvented a new and useful Toy Animals Head, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention consists of an animals head such as horse, donkey, &c.-made from wood, metal, or any other suitable material for use as a toy to fix on the back of a chair, bedstead, &c. On the neck part of head is a T-piece having swinging hinges similar to the rudder of a boat to allow'of the head to swing to and fro or up and down. The T-piece has a couple or more straps at top (or hooks) to allow of its being fixed to any'article of furniture, thereby; making a miniature toy horse, whereby a child sitting behind can by means of reins pull the head either way. I attain'these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents the head, made from wood, tin, or any other suitable material; Fig. 2, the T-piece to fix on the back of achair, bedstead, 850., (preferably made from wood.) Fig. 3 shows the T-piece fixed to the back of a chair by straps C, with the head hooked on D, showing the manner, &c., how it is worked.

Fig. 4 shows spring to allow of head moving up and down and to and fro. I do not bind myself to exact shape of spring, as other springs can be used to give the motion to the head. Fig. 2 shows the fixing for the spring on the T-piece, being twolarge-headed screws or screw-eyes, so thatthe spring (on the head) just slips over,these screws and is held by the large head of screws, (the screws not being fixed too far into the wood to allow of this.) Fig. 2 sh0ws strap (or hooks can be used)-on T-piece to fix same to any chair or bedstead and the like.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, i s
